In 1972, King Seiko introduced the VANAC, a series with bold expressions of vibrant colors and innovative, multifaceted designs. Last year, the VANAC series returned to the collection with a sporty new aesthetic, preserving the spirit of the original while adopting a new automatic movement.
Today, three new VANAC models are presented in titanium, blending strength and corrosion resistance with lightweight comfort, further elevating the dynamic character of the series.
Original VANAC designsfrom the 1970s
A bold yet practical sports watch
The new titanium creations retain the distinctive case design of the VANAC series, known for its bold facets, dynamic angularity, and bezel-less construction that creates an elegant and slender profile. The bracelet, which flows seamlessly from the case, is composed of short links to create beautiful horizontal lines.
Extensive mirror-polished surfaces are accented by brushed finishing on the case and bracelet. With titanium’s darker tone, the contrast between polished and brushed areas is heightened to emphasize the dynamic and sporty design.
Approximately 40% lighter than stainless steel, titanium delivers remarkable wearability. Its inherent lightness, combined with a three-fold clasp for the bracelet, ensures exceptional comfort and security on the wrist, even during active wear.
The oscillating weight and the bridges are adorned with a sophisticated wave pattern, which can be seen through the watch’s sapphire crystal case back.
Powering this creation is Seiko’s latest mechanical movement, Caliber 8L45, which offers a power reserve of approximately 72 hours and an accuracy of +10 to -5 seconds per day.
Beyond its precision, it was engineered to have the robustness and other qualities demanded of movements that power modern-day mechanical sports watches. Built on a foundation of practicality and performance, the watch retains its dynamic and striking character, making it a perfect fusion of strength, elegance, and versatility.
